Hello Support,
I have a question about resetting the MSP430 using the watchdog timer. We have a product in the market for 2 years and at one location (near an airport) the watchdog timer generates an overflow (probably due to firmware hang-up) which causes a firmware reset. We found out that this event is caused by an external disturbance (probably radar at 1GHz). In 30% of the watchdog resets the device does not start up correctly resulting in a "dead" system. I need to solve this problem!
My question is, should a firmware reset always recover the controller? Or are there situations that are not recoverable by a firmware reset?
Regards, Ronald
